2. Which of the following correctly describes the Three-Fifths Compromise?

   • A portion of the slave population was counted for legislative representation. (This accurately describes the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted three-fifths of the slave population for representation and taxation purposes.)

3. Which argument would a Federalist make to support ratification of the Constitution?

   • A strong federal government will be more stable than a loose confederation of states. (Federalists argued for a stronger national government to ensure stability and effective governance as opposed to the weaker government established by the Articles of Confederation.)

4. Which group would have made these arguments in 1787?

   • Anti-Federalists. (The arguments presented focus on concerns about individual liberties and state power, which were key points raised by Anti-Federalists opposing the Constitution.)
